	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	37.4% (±8.1 points)	39.1% (±10.8 points)	+1.7 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$56,524 (±$6,225)	$51,108 (±$23,348)	−9.6%	No measurable change after inflation

The Census Bureau publishes 2015–2019 dollars in 2019 dollars and 2020–2024 dollars in 2024 dollars.
